For some people waking up in the morning can be a chore. The best way to start a day is with a positive attitude and good outlook on the day. Here are a few tips to helping make your morning a pleasant experience.
Psychiatrist, Murray Zucker, says to pick a wellness habit and add it to your morning routine. Exercising or meditating are good choices to add into your every day schedule but consistency is key to boosting your happiness.
Allison Task, career and life coach, tells her clients to get their phone, tablet/computer and TV out of their room. These screens invite the outside world in which can leave you judging your own happiness with too much of a critical eye. It also helps you be less distracted so it is easier to fall asleep and get a good nights rest.
Make sure you talk to yourself. You can set yourself up for a good day by taking control over your own thoughts. You can hype yourself up and the more you give yourself advice the more likely you will be to follow through with those thoughts.
Make sure you are reaching out to those who support you. Sometimes a text, call or quick meet up can leave you feeling elated.
Feel grateful! Don't forget about all the things that you are thankful for in your life. Focusing on something simple that brought you joy can put you in a better frame of mind.
